Univ. of South Carolina beat reporter, Greenville News

Fair enough.

 

Magnum is spot on about the EE and ME. They are awful. I about fell over laughing at the notion of Columbia being an hour away from Greenville. Too funny.

 

You need more humor in your life, but hey, as long as I can help.

 

If I were interested, where would I send my resume and clips?

 

To the newspaper.

 

Most times, the sports editor collects resumes. And most times, contact info can be found with a quick search of the paper's Web site.

 

Haha, I didn't realize my question sounded so stupid. I was wondering if MU knew who specifically was handling the hiring. Sometimes it's the ME, sometimes someone in HR.

 

Just to clarify, I only posted on here so people knew what to expect when they applied. It's a great beat. There's just a lot of baggage with the paper that may not look as bad now that the entire industry is fucked.

The fact that they want the reporter to be based in Greenville is a huge red flag. It might indicate that they want the reporter to do other duties as well to get more bang for their buck. That obviously will mean less USC coverage. If so, how much? If you get a phone call, this is a question you want to ask.

And get what you can in writing.

And PS: weekday circulation is under 89,000.

 

I think Tricky67's point is, it'd be good if we had an actual ad...We should have one.

 

They might be trying to save money by not running one.


OK, I'm joking.


Sort of.

 

What do you need an ad for? Resume, cover letter, clips. Find an address and send them. Simple.

 

Sonner, you're making far too much sense.
